1  When peace like  a      ri  - ver  Attend   - eth   my     way,
2  Though  Sa-tan   should buf - fet, though tri-al    should come,
3  My sin  -  oh,   the    bliss of   this glo - ri  - ous    thought -
4  O  Lord,   haste the    day   when my  faith  shall be     sight,

1  When sor  - rows  like   sea   bil -lows roll;
2  Let  this   blest as  -  sur - ance con -trol:
3  My   sin,   not   in     part, but  the  whole,
4  The  clouds be    rolled back  as   a    scroll;

1  What-ev  -  er  my   lot,   Thou hast taught me to    say,
2  That Christ has   re-gard - ed   my   help - less  es-tate,
3  Is   nailed to  the  cross, and   I   bear   it  no   more;
4  The  trump  shall re-sound  And  the  Lord   shall de-scend;

1  "It     is  well, it   is    well  with my soul."
2   And    has shed  His  own   blood for my  soul.
3   Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O  my   soul!
4   E   -  ven so,   it   is    well  with my soul.
